Defense (DEFN.V) tables a PEA, Goldseek (GSK.C) drops final Beschefer assays, Harfang (HAR.V) delivers Serpent results, Forum (FMC.V) plots a course for 2022

The past two weeks have been particularly brutal for investors in the junior exploration arena. High-quality stocks are being tossed with little regard for their underlying intrinsic value. At this conjuncture, year-end tax-loss selling season looms large—it seems more outrageous this year than last. If you correctly predicted this rout, and have dry powder, some […]

Updates from Defense Metals (DEFN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Skeena (SKE.T), and a MONSTER drill hole out of the HighGold Mining (HIGH.V) camp

An October 4th roundup I published over at Equity Guru—Unabated selling, dry powder, the upside of buying when you’re the only bidder in the room…—generated a fair amount of positive feedback: The above tweet is courtesy of Blackrock Silver‘s CEO, Andrew Pollard. Blackrock is a Nevada-based explorer/developer currently active with four drill rigs in a […]

Forum (FMC.V) announces initial results from Janice Lake, Harfang (HAR.V) confirms kilometric-scale gold structure at Serpent Project, Prime (PRYM.V) delivers MORE bonanza grades at Los Reyes Project

After smashing through all-time highs, Copper—the malleable, red-orange metal with superior thermal and electrical conductivity properties—is currently consolidating its gains after that historic breakout. If you believe we’re in the early innings of a new supercycle in commodities—a structural bull market that will stick for years—Copper will lead the push higher as the rush to […]

A Highballer roundup – Forum (FMC.V), Defense (DEFN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Highgold (HIGH.V), Skeena (SKE.T) and Pure Gold (PGM.V)

The launch of Highballer back in early 2020 sprung from the belief that we’re in the early stages of a bull market in precious metals, base metals, battery metals, and all things mining—a bull run that will prove epic in scale. I’ve seen this movie before. It has a riveting plot. Bolstering that belief, central […]

Companies on our shortlist pushing their flagships further along the curve – Defense (DEFN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Minnova (MCI.V), Prime (PRYM.V) Skeena (SKE.T), and Strategic (SMD.V)

It seems we’ve entered yet another rout in the metals and mining stocks with several of the companies we follow closely getting sold off, testing their recent lows. It’s frustrating. One would think that with events over the past two weeks, gold would be ripping higher, tagging all-time historical highs. There’s been a lot of […]

The 1850 front line – updating Cartier (ECR.V), Forum (FMC.V), Pure Gold (PGM.V), Skeena (SKE.T), Harfang (HAR.V), and HighGold (HIGH.V)

$1,850 (blue line, chart below) is turning into a front line in the brawl between gold bulls and bears. After breaking through this key support level last week, the snap-back from the $1,767 low, anchored by a surfeit of compelling fundamentals, coincided with the U.S Dollar printing 2.5 year lows. Short term, the market is […]

Cos on the Highballer shortlist pushing their flagship assets further along the curve – Harfang (HAR.V), Skeena (SKE.T), White Gold (WGO.V), and Minnova (MCI.V)

Several companies on the Highballer shortlist have been generating significant assay-related newsflow over the past week or so. Let’s get right to it. First, I should mention that I continue scouring the junior ExploreCo landscape for companies with the right combination of assets, jurisdiction, and of course…management. But it’s not an easy task—I’m not a […]

Companies on the Highballer shortlist pushing forward as the metal consolidates – Banyan (BYN.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), Cartier (ECR.V), Harfang (HAR.V), and Defense (DEFN.V)

Everything in the junior exploration arena, with few exceptions, has taken it on the chin in recent weeks. High-quality gold and silver stocks have been tossed with little regard for their underlying fundamental value. To paraphrase my thinking in a recent Equity Guru article… If your convictions regarding the precious metals are weak, you’ve likely […]

Cos on the Highballer shortlist making headlines – Forum (FMC.V), Banyan (BYN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Skeena (SKE.V), and HighGold (HIGH.V)

This is a brief mid-week report updating several of the Cos on our shortlist making news today (Sep. 9th). Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V)… … dropped the following headline today: Forum Identifies Nickel-Copper-Palladium Targets at Love Lake Project, Saskatchewan; Commences Field Program When I asked Forum CEO, Rick Mazur, if he’d consider optioning out his Love […]
